NJ Pest Control, Bird Solutions in New Jersey by Cowleys – Our Services
New Jersey, despite being one of the smaller states with under 8,000 square miles, has a remarkable diversity of bird life. And because of our geographical location as a mid-Atlantic coastal state, we attract an abundance of ducks, skuas, skimmers, geese, shorebirds, gulls, terns, boobies, gannets, and other water-associated species.
Unfortunately, New Jersey also has many species of “pest” birds such as pigeons, sparrows, starlings, Canada Geese, and gulls that have thrived in human habitats with a virtually unlimited food supply and no natural predators. Their overpopulation has caused a variety of problems. Reach out to our NJ bird control company at Bird Solutions by Cowleys to help solve your pest problem.
New Jersey Bird Control, Pest Birds in NJ Destroy Property and Health Hazard
Droppings can discolor paint, stain wood, and are acidic enough to erode metal and dissolve paint and car finishes. Over time bird droppings can even cause concrete and expensive stonework to crumble. Birds can cause extensive damage to buildings, ventilation systems, and machinery. Birds nesting in rain gutters cause water backup that can lead to dangerous and costly structural damage. Droppings carry bacteria and diseases that can present health risks. Disturbing dried droppings releases infectious spores into the air, which are dangerous when inhaled. A sampling of bird-transmitted diseases includes histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, blastomycosis, salmonellosis, paratyphoid fever, viral meningitis, and encephalitis.

Bird control in New Jersey is primarily about removal and exclusion through various deterrents.
The types of deterrents available for bird control in New Jersey can be classified as physical, visual, or auditory. The optimal choice of deterrents depends on a variety of factors including the species of bird, the type of structure, and the level of bird activity. When it comes to bird control, there is no one-fit solution. We have the experience to devise the most cost-effective strategies that will work.
Physical Barrier Deterrents
Physical barrier deterrents are the most effective long-term and, importantly, no harm comes to the birds. We look to make your home or building an inhospitable place for birds to land, roost, or nest so they move to another location. The more common physical deterrents are bird control spikes, nettings, post and wire deterrents, slopes, and shock tracks. Anti-roosting spikes are blunt spikes that reduce the area on which the birds can land, forcing larger varieties of birds such as seagulls, pigeons, crows, and vultures to land elsewhere. Bird netting and post/wire deterrents exclude pest birds from all types of openings and structures to land on. Bird slopes are slippery PVC panels with steep edges that don’t allow birds to get a grip. Shock tracks are low-profile deterrents that deter birds from ledges and roof areas.
Visual and Auditory Deterrents
In addition to these construction-oriented solutions, there are visual and auditory “scare” deterrents and repellers. Visual deterrents range from heli-kites that emulate hawks in flight to reflective windmills that flash UV lights. Auditory deterrents, such as a propane bird scare cannon, are generally reserved for farms and rural areas.
